Roundhouse

About Roundhouse

Roundhouse is a leading performing arts and creative centre based in Camden, London. Housed within its famous circular heritage building, the venue hosts an extensive programme of live music, theatre, spoken word and cultural events throughout the year. As well as welcoming world-class performers, Roundhouse also runs a wide range of creative development programmes for young people, supporting emerging talent across music, media and the performing arts. Its dynamic workplace supports a busy team delivering events, productions and educational initiatives.

At My Office Pod, we work with organisations across the UK to create practical, stylish spaces that support focus, collaboration and day-to-day flexibility. For this project in London, we supplied a Bob Meeting Pod for Roundhouse, helping to introduce a dedicated area for private conversations and more productive meetings.

Creating privacy within a busy workplace

Modern workplaces often need to balance openness with privacy. While open-plan layouts can encourage interaction, they do not always provide the quiet, enclosed settings needed for meetings, one-to-ones or focused discussions. For Roundhouse, the goal was to introduce a solution that would offer a greater sense of separation without compromising the overall look and flow of the space.

The Bob Meeting Pod was selected as an effective way to carve out a more enclosed area within the workplace. Compact yet functional, it provides a practical setting for teams to meet, catch up and collaborate away from surrounding noise and distractions.

The solution: Bob Meeting Pod

The Bob Meeting Pod is designed to support more comfortable and productive meetings within shared office environments. Its enclosed form helps create a quieter atmosphere, making it easier for staff to hold conversations, exchange ideas and work through tasks without interruption.

For Roundhouse, this meant adding a flexible meeting space that could be used throughout the day for informal discussions, team check-ins and private conversations. Rather than relying solely on fixed meeting rooms, the pod offers a simple and space-efficient alternative that fits naturally into the wider workplace.

Why meeting pods make a difference

Meeting pods have become an increasingly valuable addition to modern offices because they help solve a common challenge: finding privacy in open environments. Acoustic pods and enclosed meeting furniture can reduce noise disruption, support concentration and give employees somewhere more comfortable to speak freely.

They also help businesses make better use of their floor space. Instead of major structural changes, pods offer a straightforward way to introduce functional zones for meetings, calls and focused work. This makes them ideal for organisations looking to improve usability while keeping their interiors flexible and design-led.

Products like the Bob Meeting Pod also contribute to a better workplace experience overall. By giving teams access to dedicated quiet spaces, employers can support collaboration when needed while still preserving the benefits of an open office layout.

A practical addition for the modern workplace

This installation for Roundhouse shows how a single well-chosen pod can make a meaningful difference to the way a workspace functions. The Bob Meeting Pod provides a dedicated setting for discussion and collaboration, helping to create a more balanced environment that supports both teamwork and privacy.
